Two years ago today, I started Shakespeare’s Sister. I had no idea, and certainly no expectation, that Shakes would become what it has—but I’m sure glad it did. For which I credit, of course, John Howard, for being my first commenter (aside from my beloved Mr. Shakes and Mr. Furious, who always support me in any of my crackpot schemes).

Many thanks to the amazing contributors and guests who have joined me along the way, turning Shakes into the Best Group Blog in the blogosphere, to the innumerable bloggers who have supported us with links, guest slots, and words of encouragement, and to everyone who’s commented, emailed, blogwhored, and become a part of the Shakes community.

Onward...
